In ectotherms, survivorship is dependent on the environmental temperature. This
dependence can take the form of survivorship declining sharply at low and high …

interaction.•Discrete generations plus climate change can lead to developmental …

Female polymorphism is observed in various animal species, but is particularly common in
damselflies. The maintenance of this polymorphism has traditionally been explained from …

Highlights•Climate change is disrupting seasonal rhythms and developmental rate of
insects.•Phenological shifts within and among trophic levels are modifying biotic …

Thermal performance curves (TPCs) depict variation in vital rates in response to temperature
and have been an important tool to understand ecological and evolutionary constraints on …

Over the last few decades, biologists have made substantial progress in understanding
relationships between changing climates and organism performance. Much of this work has …

Diverse biochemical and physiological adaptations enable different species of ectotherms to
survive and reproduce in very different temperature regimes, but whether these adaptations …

Whereas the vast majority of animals in nature experience daily or seasonal thermal
fluctuations, most laboratory experiments use constant temperatures. We examined the …

The impact of warming on the persistence and distribution of ectotherms is often forecasted
from their warming tolerance, inferred as the difference between their upper thermal limit …

Substantial increases in global temperature are projected for the coming decades due to
climate change. Considering that temperature has a strong influence on insect voltinism (ie …
